The Effects of Exercise

If a person is suffering from high blood pressure, there is the possibility the problem is due to an unhealthy lifestyle. This could include eating the wrong types of food, a complete lack of exercise, stress smoking and other things. Still, we can change it. Healthy exercise training works on the principle that you have to overload your body slightly everytime you work out. You only need to use a little more effort exercising than you would normally do with a particular exercise.
Eventually you would find your fitness levels had improved to such a degree, that you were doing many exercises with no trouble at all.

Eventually as your fitness levels improve, the heart does not have to work as hard because there is a reduced demand on the heart muscle. Your blood pressure becomes more stable (and lower), and the resting heart rate becomes lower.
